Our Orchestra is composed of members from various
ethnic backgrounds who demonstrate their heritage and instruments varying
from Africa to the Caribbean and Europe. The
students not only get to see and hear the different instruments,
but also get a chance to have "hands-on" interaction with them.
Particular instruments include:
maracas, guiro, conga, bongo, timbale, claves guira, tambora and
cowbell.
This interaction enables the children to see and hear these instrument
from different countries in their native music, how they are played
and how the
instrument interacts to create music.
